York-headquartered shoe retailer Pavers has teamed up with fellow Yorkshire business Orchard Facilities Management to streamline its waste management operations.

The deal has seen the introduction of new hygiene waste services at over 60 of the retailer’s UK sites.

Orchard took over hygiene waste management towards the end of last year. Operations director Justin Holley said the move had simplified administration and improved efficiency.

“Hygiene waste services are highly regulated in the UK and firms have an obligation to comply with complex legislation,” said Mr Holley.

“As well as supplying bins and managing waste collections our teams make thorough checks to make sure all legal requirements are being met.”

Daniel Tanner, facilities assistant at Pavers, said: “As a business we take operational efficiency and compliance very seriously and Orchard’s support has been invaluable in helping us meet our targets and introduce even greater efficiency in our waste management processes.”
